About Me

I am a writer for MMAWeekly.com and I have also written for MMAFighting.com, FightOpinion.com and Nokaut.com. I eat, sleep and breath Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) and I feel it's the greatest sport in the world.

There's no hiding my love for MMA but my first love is my family. I am happily married and a proud father of three boys who keep me on my toes.

Feel free to contact me: [email protected]
